Contacts being synced to a Ghost Hotmail Account i...

Dear Members,
I have encountered a strange problem with my Lumia 520. I have attached the screenshots with this message.
I do not have a microsoft/hotmail account configured on my cell phone, as is evident from emails and accounts screenshot. But when i try to filter contact list through Contacts App, I can see a hotmail account. Apparently, all my contact data is being backed up in this account. I do not have any details about this Hotmail account (Login or password).
Now I want to download a copy of contact data from Hotmail account, which I cannot access because I do not have any details about it.
I would really appreciate some help here.
Thanks in advance.

If I understand you correctly you had a live account which you used to set up the phone. You have now deleted that account online (you can't remove it on the phone as it would require a full reset).
If in doubt I'd suggest you use Contacts Backup to backup your contacts to OneDrive, then backup all your images, music and other data on the phone which are accessible through a PC/USB connection. You can now reset the phone and use a valid Microsoft account to set it up again. That should fix the issue if any.

I am signed into the iCloud and contacts are turned on in the iCloud settings on my iPad. the iCloud account is checked in the groups area of the contacts settings. the calendar is turned on the same way and that syncs to iCloud...just not contacts.

That is usually a problem at Hotmails' end. Have you contacted their support people?

Contacts being synced

Currently I'm using dot mac to sync two macs that I own. I also sync my phone daily to one of my macs. Last week I went through ALL of my contacts and edited, deleted, and organized on one of my mac computers. Since then, due to automatic syncing with dot mac/and or syncing with my iphone, all of that editing and organizing work done on my computer has reverted to what it previously was, a disorganized mess. How do I make sure that when I change contact info whether its on my phone or computer, that those changes are permanent and when syncing, the most recent changes prevail???
Thanks,
Gavin

HT201210 PPlease help. I've lost some of my contacts and cant get into my hotmail account. Catherine Taylor

Hello.....can you help me please?

"Hmmm. I would have thought it was. That's exactly what professional IT people do when they have an issue like this. It's a very professional step. Seems to me the major FAIL is here:"
So do you actually enjoy troll through forums to waste everyone's time? Or do you just have no life? How is use your backup a professional answer? Is it because all of the IT guys have such a high IQ that they are inadequate of engaging in a human conversation?
"Do you actually think there's a computer system somewhere where that advice doesn't hold?"
Yes all the previous Mac OS I never had to backup before transition into newer version.

How do I add new contacts to hotmail account on iPad.

I can't find my contact list on ipad for my hotmail account. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for replying. It is my only account and I use it all the time. But since having an iPad I can't see where I can manage contacts, either to delete or add.

TS3899 I can't verify my hotmail account ? Which leads to me being unable to read/ receive my emails ?

I can't verify my hotmail account ? Which leads me being unable to read/receive my emails ?

How is being unable to verify your hotmail account, which is a Microsoft Service, relevant to these forums. If you can't verify your account information with Microsoft, that's something you need to take up with them.

I can't open my Hotmail account in Firefox

I think I know what my problem is but I don't know how to fix it. I attempted to delete unauthorized contacts in my contact list on one of my Hotmail accounts, and I think I messed up the default settings. Since then, I've been unable to access the account even though I can sign into my other 2 linked accounts on Firefox and on the blocked one in IE. I've optimized the browser by following some of the suggestions here, but still no luck. I'm currently running version 3.6.17.
How can I possibly restore the settings to this account if I'm unable to access it? I'm fairly certain this is the problem because this didn't happen before I tried to delete those contacts (which didn't have a delete option, obviously). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hello to everyone
Thank you all so much to all of you for the prompt reply!
Sorry I did try all your ideas, but I stil can't open Hotmail-account and
I can't send, reply any hotmail-emails, when I click on a message in my Inbox the message doesn't open.
If I click on any links in my inbox on hotmail, absolutely nothing happens.
I'm using HTTPS-hotmail.
JavaScript is enabled .
I'm not infected with malware, I use Norman Security Suite Viruses and Spyware.
I disabled all add-ons with FF in Safe Mode, and hotmail worked well.
I used Hotmail with Firefox for years with no problem.
Starting about 2 weeks i can't sign into my hotmail account through firefox;
I open firefox, then hotmail, put my adress, and then there's this page:
A password isn't enough ...
I click on the "SAVE"-button", it does not work.
It works well in IE.
I did remove the cookies,
by 'View Cookies' there is this cookie: "answers microsoft com"",
and i cannot remove this cookie.
(I have firefox on "Never remember history")
I also did use the the refresh button and the ''Shift'' key, it doesn't work :-(
By Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del , totally nothing happens. Please help me.
Thank you so much for your help!! My english language is not good, that's why my reply takes a long time. Sorry for that.
I wish you all a wonderful evening from Holland.

Change hotmail account to access my phone

Can I sync Office 2013 Home premium Outlook calendar and contacts across all my computers without using Hotmail account

I don't want to use a Hotmail account to do this.
Is it possible?
The licence is for 5 PC's but seems to have no sync ability.

I just went to Windows 8.1 and I purchased Office 365 home premium for 5 PCs or Macs and 5 mobile devices. No where in the page or the "learn more info" did it say it would not sync up with iPhones and iPads. I am concerned I wasted my money because
I truly wanted to have Outlook on my iPhone and Ipad. There is an OWA for iPad and Iphone available but I have deducted that it needs Microsoft Exchange which is not included in the home premium version of office365. I am not sure what good it does to advertise
syncing with mobile devices when it truly will not sync up. Is this True?
For $100/year, you would think exchange could be included so these syncing issues would not be a problem. I do not want to keep up with more email accounts just to make it work with Microsoft.
I am trying to keep things simple. I do use iPhones and Ipads, and based on the advertising for office 365 all my current issues would be seamlessly fixed by going this route. I'm afraid not unless someone can give me the simple solution that does not
require a PHd in computer saavy. I am not a rookie, but after 4 hours of trying everything I know to make it work, I just could not do it through my new office365 software or the apps for Iphone or Ipad. In addition, there were conflicting answers and
responses from Microsoft when I called or chatted with their support people.
BTW, I did download iCloud onto my new laptop and it knew that it was not syncing with Outlook and immediately asked if I wanted to fix. Downloaded the fix, restarted system, and calendar and contacts immediately synced up on my apple devices and my
new computer.
The funny thing is that I still cannot get Office365 to sync with the windows 8.1 calendar or contacts app on the start page using my POP email account that I have had for many years. I also think it needs exchange. Please provide some guidance
here.
I'm trying not to be difficult but am looking for the software to work as advertised so I can stick with all office products. If not, just give me a refund and I will buy a stand alone version for my PC and sync up with Apple apps which work well and
are much less expensive. Thanks for your assistance.

ITunes Says My Contacts Are Being Synced With Microsoft Exchange, But I Don't Have An Exchange Account

iTunes says my contacts are being synced with Microsoft Exchange over the air, but I do not have an Exchange account, and I have disabled over the air syncing on both my iPhone 4, as well as in iTunes. How do I remedy this? I did a complete Restore on my phone to rectify this, but got the same results.
I have worked for a couple of hours now; at first, none of my contacts were syncing with Outlook, even though iTunes said they were. Then after checking and unchecking everything I could find relating to syncing, some of my contacts synced. Now I've managed to get them all synced, but still getting this message. I need to make sure that going forward, all changes and updates are correctly synced manually whenever I plug my phone into my computer. Any suggestions?

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

My hotmail account set up on my iPad is syncing all previous messages, some which are around 5 years old.

I have set up my hotmail account on my iPad using IMAP settings. Using this approach gives me the ability to sync all mail folders including Junk. During the setup, I am not given the choice to decide how far back do i want to go back with my previous emails.The account got set up without any issues but the end result: Mail has now synced almost 2000 messages from my inbox, some being almost 5 years old leading to extra space being used up.
How can I change this so that my iPad onlydownloads recent messages (last 5 days maybe)? Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi
> I have just heard from Toshiba indicating that there could be three reasons for this problem:
>It could be a faulty keyboard, a system board fault, or a corrupt BIOS."
I dont think its keyboard or BIOS issue.
Why?
Because usually an faulty keyboard does not prevent the notebook from booting up. The POST should be passed properly but the keyboard would not work.
BIOS issue?
I dont think so since the BIOS cannot be muddled up without re-flashing the EPROM module.
Therefore the issue can be related to the motherboard as well as connected parts like RAM modules.
> Someone has suggested that if the RCT battery fails it could cause a problem similar to this one, is that possible?
I dont think so. Low of faulty RTC battery leads only to BIOS data loss (date, time, etc)
But the unit should still be able to power up.
> Toshiba has also said that if I cannot make any further progress I will have to send the laptop to them for troubleshooting and repair and I would imagine they will replace the motherboard and charge me more than the computer is now worth.
Well, before replacing any parts, you could ask for cost estimation but in case of motherboard issue the fix can be very expensive.

It's because you must have sent some information like you must have clicked on Submit button to perform any query. So when you will click on back button it will again send this info.
So, right click on Back button and choose 2nd site from the top of the list to go to previous page.

IPhone4 Contacts not being synced to MobileMe

This is odd.
I have found any contacts created on my iPhone4 are not being synced to MobileMe and also any of my Macs.
Which means I do not see them on the web contacts in MobileMe
or on my Macs.
But they do show up on my iPad.!!
The ones that are being created on the iPhone go into its group 'Contacts'
You can see this when you Nav to groups.
I am sure this used to work ??
Any one got any ideas
Thanks

Ok I found the problem
For some reason, under the Default Account in then Contacts settings on the iPhone, It was set to my Exchange account.
Adding contacts used to work, so it may be the recent update to the iOS changed it??
Anyway, changing it back to my mobileme account fixed the issue

HT204150 My contacts are not being backed up in my iCloud account

My contacts are not being backed up in my iCloud account. Any suggestions?

Only contacts that belong to the iCloud group are synced to your iCloud account. If you have non-iCloud contact groups on your phone, first go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Group (in the Contacts section) and make sure you select iCloud as your default. Next, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to On, and when prompted, choose Merge. Then try creating a new contact on your phone and see if it appears in your contacts on icloud.com when you check from your computer.
